Find Student Accommodation Near the University of Pretoria at Varsity Lodge!
The University of Pretoria is one of the oldest and most reputable academic establishments in South Africa, and every year around 50 000 students pursue full-time or part-time studies there. The high success rates, the wonderful weather in Pretoria and the central location of the university make it a very popular choice for most students, but this also means that competition for accommodation is strong, and student accommodation near the University of Pretoria is often very hard to find or very expensive.
Most parents want to know that their child attending this university has comfortable living quarters that are safe and conducive to good quality study time, and they tend to opt for the student residences of the university. It is, however, not possible to accommodate all the students in these establishments and waiting lists are often long. This forces students to find accommodation elsewhere in the city, and often they only find reasonable quarters far away from the campus or end up spending a fortune on apartments or houses.
There is now an answer for those who are looking for student accommodation near the University of Pretoria! At Varsity Lodge, we provide a range of safe and well-managed residences that are located near various campuses around the country. Students are able to share these residences with others while they study and socialise – all of this at a reasonable cost in comfortable and conveniently located living quarters.
At Varsity Lodge, we offer different types of accommodation. Our student accommodation near the University of Pretoria is in Lynnwood, and it consists of a number of units that each contains between five and seven bedrooms, with shared common areas such as the kitchen, lounge and dining room.
Bathrooms are also shared according to the bedroom arrangements. Double bedrooms are two separate rooms sharing a bathroom, and the single bedrooms are bigger with their own bathroom. These units are furnished with the basics, and the lounge contains large couches with a flat screen television cabled into the full bouquet of DStv. We also have a laundry on site for residents’ use, and WiFi is included in the rental fees. The crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster and freezer provide for all the basic needs in the kitchen, and we do not tolerate smoking in any of our buildings or facilities.

In October 2004, the Council of the University of Pretoria made an executive decision to streamline all the various functions related to residences under one business unit.
